Toronto Zoo Reveals Panda Names Jia Panpan And Jia Yeuyeu

After holding a naming contest in February, the zoo's newly named panda bear cubs made their public debut at an exclusive event on Monday. Guests included Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Ontario Premiere Kathleen Wynne and Toronto Mayor John Tory.

After a series of speeches, it was revealed that Canada had chosen to name the cubs Jia Panpan and Jia Yeuyeu which translates to "Canadian Hope" for the male cub and "Canadian Joy" for the female.

Tory even got up close and personal with the cubs before the official naming ceremony.
